Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2017, Vol 41, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the current paper is to review the national and international journal articles on washback in language testing in Turkey between 2010 and 2017. The studies have been obtained from several databases such as ERIC and ScienceDirect, and the journal websites. The studies conducted on washback in Turkish contexts are divided into two main groups: the studies conducted on washback effects of high-stakes exams in Turkey, and the studies conducted in state and private schools in Turkey. The studies are discussed with respect to their main findings, strengths, and weaknesses and most of these studies are based on the national examinations such as YDS (Foreign Language Exam) and their washback effects on examinees.
